NTLDR is missing
I have Windows XP installed and booted the Windows 7 Professiional install disk. I selected setup, then Custom, then partition 0 which was an empty formatted separate hard drive. Partition 1 was the Windows XP installation. Windows 7 installed fine and appears to run well.
However, Window 7 will not boot unless the installation disk is in the dvd drive. If the disk is out of the drive, I get an error message "NTLDR is missing". If BIOS is set to boot the XP drive, there is no dual boot option but XP boots just fine. If BIOS is set to the 7 drive, there is also no dual boot option and 7 only boots without the "NTLDR" if the installation disk is in place.
How can I fix it so I get a dual boot menu at boot up and stop the "NTLDR" error?
